Dise Speaks

[The scene opens backstage, as Panzadise is seen sparring with Tony Danza in preparation for his match tonight. The camera is zoomed in tight on the two, but suddenly it zooms out to reveal someone standing right behind Panzadise. It’s Mattew Engel. The crowd watching back in the arena explodes in a thunderous pop, anticipating what may happen next between the two PWA legends.]

[Danza motions for Panzadise to turn around. Engel has his PWA World Championship draped over his shoulder, and Dise gives the belt a good long stare
before he looks into Engel’s eyes.]

Engel: “I think it’s messed up what you did to Jethro last week.”

Dise: “Is that right? Well, I think it’s pretty messed up what YOU did to Jethro last week! I just put the icing on the cake, bro. You’re the one who beat your
own friend within an inch of his life!”

[Engel takes a deep breath and soaks in what Dise said.]

Dise: “Face it, Engel. We both have a lot in common. We’re both willing to do whatever it takes to get to the top.”

[Engel steps closer until he is right up next to Dise.]

Engel: “The only difference is…I handle my business like a man!”

[Tony Danza acts like he is about to go after Engel, but Dise holds him back. Dise reaches behind him and pulls out a T-shirt that was hanging out the back of his jeans. He holds it up in front of Engel to reveal that it’s an NAP T-Shirt. Dise extends his hand to offer the shirt to Engel, almost as an invitation to join the NAP. You can hear the crowd back in the arena going crazy.]

[Engel reaches out and takes the shirt from Panzadise. He looks it over and smiles. Just then, he tosses the shirt back into Dise’s face, readjusts his world title on his shoulder, and walks out of the scene. Panzadise and Tony Danza are left looking pissed off like they are going to go after him, but they stand pat.]

Jimmy Freeman vs Orville Ichabod

Singles Match

Jimmy wastes no time attacking Orville as he lunges forward with a fury of fists, catching Ichabod off guard. Jimmy lands each left and right with the old man unable to counter very effectively, but he does try to put his arms up to block the attacks. Jimmy whips Orville into the ropes and bounces himself off the opposite ropes at the right moment, springboarding himself forward and body splashing Ichabod to the canvas. He covers! 1! 2! Kick out! Freeman is much quicker to his feet than Orville, for obvious reasons, but before Freeman can continue his attack Orville is up and nails him down with a belly to belly suplex. Orville headbutts him as he lays on the canvas and grabs him by the neck, lifting him up and chucking him into the turnbuckle. Freeman rushes forward from the turnbuckle like he's on fire but gets nailed with a clothesline sending him crashing to the canvas.

Freeman gets himself up and Orville attempts to hip toss Jimmy who lands himself on his feet and reverses the move, turning it into an armbar on Orville Ichabod. The old man winces as he slaps the arm Freeman has locked up, but Orville throws out a few elbows into Jimmy's face to get himself free from the move. He follows it up with an impact DDT that flattens Freeman! He quickly covers! 1! 2! KICKOUT! Freeman jumps up onto Orville after from behind and hits a reverse hurricanrana and the stunned crowd quickly snaps as many pictures as it can as Orville crawls away and gets to his feet. Orville throws a heavy left hook which throws Jimmy into the turnbuckle with force. Ichabod charges Freeman in the corner but Freeman throws both of his legs up into the old man's face sending Orville stumbling back. Freeman charges forward, kneeing Orville in the gut. PITCHFORK PLUNGE!!!! Freeman covers again!

The arena is under a dimmed light. Only the tron, showing black, white and green clips of Marxx fighting is flashing as “I’m Not Afraid” by Lacuna Coil plays in the arena.

Marxx appears from the entrance ramp, wearing a sleeveless black coat, studded on the shoulders. He stays in the middle of the entrance ramp, looking down. Then, all of a sudden, he raises his head and does his usual “X” with his arms before slowly extending them as sparkles are falling in front of the entrance.

Marxx, first to rise, grabs Triad by his helmet and tosses him towards the ring, Marxx looks to check on the ref who was just picking himself up, Triad of course was out, Marxx reaches down and picks up his almost lifeless opponent and tosses him under the bottom rope, following in after, he then moves over to the ref was and motions him to get in quickly as he dives for a quick pin!

Brian Rentfro: “Triad just isn't going down without much more of a fight!”

Jon McDaniel: “Triad is still new, and Marxx is a hell of a wrestler, I can't see this fight going on much longer!”

Marxx stands up and begins to argue with the ref, unnoticed, Triad crawls over to the outside of the ring, going for his ring driver, Marxx catches him out of the corner of his eye and rushes over to grab his feet and pull him back, Triad however turns himself over and donkey kicks Marxx off, rolling under the bottom rope he snatches up his ring driver and runs it across his belt! The lights go out! A familiar voice is heard over the speakers “SAI! GORILLA! ZOU!!” a loud explosion goes off infront of the announcers booth as the Silver suit of Sagozo stands infront of Marxx, heaving his now heavy fists, Triad beats his chest and runs under the rope, going back to Marxx now completely refreshed, Marxx goes to tackle Triad, thinking he was no different from before, but Triad trips him up onto his back and then drops a heavy elbow right onto his chest!!

Jon McDaniel: “I wouldn't put it past him, but I'm sure he thought Triad would be down and out by now!”

Triad picks Marxx up with ease into a high free military press before dropping him right on the ground in front of him! Triad, now getting extremely cocky, plants his boot on Marxx's chest, pinning his shoulders down, the ref goes for the count.

Marxx kicks out forcefully and rolls out of the ring! The Ref trying to make heads or tails out of Triads new suit doesn't notice Marxx going for a wooden cane, however, Triad does and tries to pull the kendo stick out of his hands, however, the now attentive ref notices what Triad is doing and tries to grab the weapon, he manages to get it free from both of their grasps and tosses it out of the ring, Marxx takes advantage of Triad's divided attention and and Pulls him down snagging his throat off the top rope!!

Jon McDaniel: “Marxx using the chaos in the ring to his advantage here, maybe taking back control of this match!”

Just mere mili-seconds before triad could get his shoulder up, the Bell sounded and Marxx leapt to his feet!!

Eric Emerson: “Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your winner... MARXX!!”

The ref grabbed Marxx's arm to lift it up before he yanked it away, he looked over at the lifeless Triad before smirking and walking out of the ring, he looked down and noticed the Kendo stick that had been thrown away, he picks it up and examines it for a moment before he walks back into the ring, he walks over to Triad and raises the kendo stick high over his head, but before he could bring it down, Triad's foot shoots up, square in Marxx's man parts!

Brian Rentfro: “Damn! Triad with the blind side to Marxx!”

Marxx rolls out of the ring holding his junk, he backs up up the ramp watching Triad as he got himself up.

Ash Nukem vs Dolten Adler

Singles Match (Non-Title)

The bell sounded and Nukem and Adler went at it furiously, exchanging punches and kicks. Adler got the advantage at the beginning and really took it to the Grizzly Beer Champion with a lot of flashy aerial maneuvers and some proficient takedowns. But Nukem's resiliency and determination helped him survive a few pinfall attempts from Adler and get him back in the fight. Nukem reversed a suplex attempt from Adler and turned it into a northern lights suplex, bridging it for a pinfall attempt and only getting a two. Nukem turned the tide on the match and went to work on Adler, hitting a few big moves like a top rope elbow drop and a fisherman's DDT.

Matt Stone vs Eli Storm

Singles Match (Non-Title)

The two men both tried to start the match quickly. Stone connected with a few backhanded chops, then Eli would connect with a kick to the side of Stone’s leg and a quick dropkick sent Stone on the mat. Eli dropped a leg across Stone’s chest and picked him up, going for a shoulder breaker, but Stone rolled down Eli’s back and grabbed his head, driving him flat on his back with a reverse ddt. Storm was quick to his feet and locked up with matt, the two not giving an inch and walking around the ring trying to gain leverage on one another and the two actually spilled outside the ring. Still locked yup, the continued until Matt was able to grab a hold of Eli’s tights and pull him straight into the steel post outside the ring.

Having the advantage now, Matt would roll Eli into the ring. Matt measured him and as Eli started to get up Matt kicked him square in the head KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!!! Stone shouted before the blow and went for the cover, getting a 2 count. Stone dropped an elbow on Eli and picked him up, whipping him into the ropes and catching him with a belly to belly suplex.

Stone charged at Eli, but Storm caught him with a toe kick and grabbed Matt’s head, sweeping his leg and dropping Matt on his head, CHEAP POP!!!! Storm went for the cover and got a two count.

Now with Storm in command, Eli backed up as Matt started getting up, Eli ran at him and hit him hard in the head with his leg. STORM WACTH!! Another cover produced a closer two count, but Eli didn’t show signs of frustration. He picked up Matt and lifted him for a Storm-plex! Matt is down on the mat and Storm goes for another cover, Matt has his foot under the bottom rope to nullify the cover. Storm pulls Stone away from the ropes and covers again, but Matt kicks out! IT’S OVER Storm called out and measured Stone as he was getting up.

Matt’s theme plays and he rolls out of the ring, being handed his two titles as he walks back to the locer room area, holding his stomach from that vicious kick.

The Last Whores

Backstage. Matthew Engel, the World Champion, is having a Vitamin Water and a bag of pretzels. Mm. Sounds good! Lean Bean Miller, however, interrupts Engel's relaxation time.

LBM: Matt!

Matthew Engel: Ugh, motherfu...

The rest goes under his breath, where we like words like that. Bad Matthew.

LBM: Matt. I...

LBM tries to catch his breath.

Matthew Engel: Take it easy, Lean. Don't be running that hard if you're this out of shape.

LBM: No, I... yeah, you're probably right.

Matthew Engel: And for *beep*'s sake, go on a diet already. How can anyone call you Lean Bean Miller if you get fatter than Emily Corlen?

LBM: She's...she's not even that fat, Matthew.

Engel rolls his eyes.

Matthew Engel: We'll see about that. Now what is up, Lean?

LBM: Just wanted to get some words from you about your big match tonight. The Last Pioneers are a grave threat to your undefeated streak with Jethro, would you agree?

Matthew Engel: A grave threat? No. They are a threat, sure, but so is every team that steps into the ring with us. They're no different than Marvin Wood and Estelle Webb, or Might & Magic. They're just a threat, and they will be handled as such. Lean, don't give them any more credit than they deserve. That credit lies with the AoWF Tag-Team Champions.

LBM nods, breathing easier now.

LBM: I know this is their first time together as a team, but Emily has proved she is a talented individual with the potential to be a big star here in the PWA and Simon Kalis is a PWA legend. Together they could be just as successful as Second 2 None and a win tonight would solidify that. How are you and Jethro planning to make sure you stay undefeated?

Matthew Engel: Okay, okay. Sure, Simon is a PWA legend. Sure, Emily is talented. But even in your own words, Lean, they're half as good as we are. Jethro and I are both legends in the PWA. We're both champions. We're both Hall of Famers. So whether or not Simon comes to the ring as good as ever, his partner will lack the experience necessary to even come close to beating a team like us.

LBM: What about Simon toying with the idea about teaming up with former PWA World Champion Teresa Quaranta?

Matthew Engel: What about it?

LBM: What do you think about that, if it happens?

Matthew Engel: Good for them?

LBM: They would definitely be a grave threat to Second 2 None, don't you think?

Matthew Engel: No, I don't.

LBM: Teresa is a former PWA World Champion and a great fighter. I'm sure the ratings would go through the roof if that match ever happened.

Matthew Engel: Probably, but the ratings go through the roof any time Second 2 None is in the ring because our streak is on the line.

LBM: That may be true, but Teresa --

Matthew Engel: Lean, it doesn't matter. That was Simon making excuses for his lackluster partner, that's all that was. If that match ever happens, so be it. Jethro and I will handle it properly. But, that was just hot air blowing out of Simon and he really doesn't have much to stand on when it comes to the match tonight. And I seriously doubt Teresa could withstand being at his side for more than thirty seconds, but she's more than welcome to grab a less controversial and possible better wrestler from her neck of the woods and try us.

LBM: Is that a challenge?

Matthew Engel: No, it's a statement. Anybody can lose on any given week, and I urge any team from any part of the AoWF to try that theory on us. You people act like I've never lost a match in my life and if S2N ever loses, it would be the end of the world. It wouldn't. We'd get back up, dust ourselves off, and crush the next team put in front of us.

Engel throws his hands up as LBM tries to talk once more, and then walks away with his Vitamin Water and pretzels. I want pretzels. Cut back to ringside.

Tag Team Elimination Match

Storm and Wagner start out and trade moves back and forth. Storm tries to tag in the Dragon, but he and Moke jump off the apron to avoid the tag. This gives Wagner a chance to whip the surprised Storm into his corner, where Adler holds on to him while Wagner flies in with a Stinger Splash. Storm stumbles forward and Wagner takes him down with a bulldog. The two battle back and forth a bit more, with Storm trying hard to get to his corner to tag in Nadare, but Wagner manages to keep him cut off. Wagner hits the Virtue of the Vicious for the first pinfall.

Doshky wastes no time entering the ring and attacking his fellow German. He stomps Wagner down, then continues the assault. Wagner nails Doshky with a low blow to even the score and rolls to his corner to tag in Adler. Adler rushes the big man, who is down on one knee, but Moke was playing possum and traps Adler in the Mokey Squash. Wagner looks up and sees what is happening and gets back in the ring to help his partner, but out of nowhere, the Dragon spears Wagner and both men fall through the ropes to the floor outside. In the ring, Adler fades quickly in the massive arms of Doshky. The ref checks his arm three times and three times it falls.

Winners: Might & Magic

Shooting Starr

We fade into the locker room of The Last Pioneers, and we immediately see Emily trying to hide her laughter as Kalis scratches his head.

Simon Kalis: So... You actually showed up, did you?

Justin Bieber: Well yeah, yo!

He throws his head back, that god damn fucking hair of his waves. He's wearing a Matthew Engel t-shirt and smiles at Emily who seems ready to punch his face in.

Justin Bieber: When I heard Engel was a huge fan of mine, I had to come here! If he listens to my music while he works out? Man that'll give me so much credibility!

Emily Corlen: Yeah, cause you're the Kurt Cobain of your generation.

Justin Bieber: Yeah, so what're we waiting for baby? Baby! Baby! Ohhhhhh!!! I wanna see Engel!

Kalis reaches behind his back, and he grips a pistol he has tucked into his belt. Corlen steps forward, smiling as she smacks Simon's hand away from it.

Simon Kalis: What? I'm pretty sure I'd get a medal.

Corlen laughs as Bieber tries opening the locker room door.

Justin Bieber: Hey dude, it's stuck?

Bieber struggles with the door but then again he's a pansy.

Simon Kalis: Step aside.

Kalis goes to open the door, but it's jammed. He tries pushing against it but it won't open.

Lucious Starr: Don't worry, someone will open it eventually.

The camera switches angles and just ouside of The Last Pioneers, is Starr. He's locked the door from the other side. Cue the 24-style split screen view.

Simon Kalis: You better step back, cause I'll shoot my way out if I have to.

Lucious Starr: Sure, big bad Simon has guns! Big surprise!

We see Starr hold up a pistol of his own and take out the clip before chucking it into a garbage bin. Kalis steps back, Justin Bieber grabs onto Emily Corlen and presses his face against her breasts.

Emily Corlen: Get the hell away from me.

She gives Bieber a light shove but he goes flying into the lockers, and begins to shiver as tears come through his eyes. Why? Kalis pulls his gun out and takes aim at the locker room door.

Jeremy Gold: It's okay! It's safe in here!

Gold opens the closet where he's crying, covered in his own piss. Emily shoves Bieber into the closet with Gold and locks it shut.

Water squirts out from the gun in Kalis' hand, obviously it's a cheap water gun spray painted black. Kalis chucks it aside and sighs.

Simon Kalis: I'm gonna kill you, Starr.

Lucious Starr: Oh, no you won't.

The camera shows Joshua Danielson next to Starr, both men have sledgehammers that they lift up, the long shafts of the handles resting on their shoulders.

Joshua Danielson: You sent someone to take me out, Simon! That was too far.

Simon Kalis: Oh and helping Starr kidnap my kid is what?

Suddenly, Spectre turns into this hallway eating icecream and pickles because he's Scottish and thus weird like this.

Spectre: What the?

Danielson and Starr turn and immediately swing their sledge hammers at Spectre. Spectre drops his ice cream and pickles and takes a shot directly in the gut from both men, falling to his knees. Starr lifts the butt end of the handle up and smashes it over Spectre's face. A third split in the screen shows Gold holding Justin Bieber inside the closet.

Justin Bieber: Are we gonna die?

Gold whimpers.

Jeremy Gold: With Simon, everyday is a day you can die.

Emily kicks the closet door.

Emily Corlen: Keep quiet!

Kalis turns to her and shakes his head, the screen for us now just shows Danielson and Starr standing over Spectre.

Starr and Danielson stomp down over Spectre's neck and face, and he rolls over onto his back, bleeding and knocked out.

Joshua Danielson: I know you explained why they call you the Spectre, Ben... But do you know why they call me The Punisher?

Starr nods, and both men raise their sledgehammers high up into the air, taking aim at Spectre's legs.

Simon Kalis: Whatever you're thinking of doing, don't!

Lucious smirks.

Lucious Starr: I can end careers too, Simon.

They bring down their sledgehammers right over Spectre's knee caps! Spectre's eyes shoot open as he SCREAMS AND SCREAMS at the top of his lungs!

Spectre: THEY BROKE MY FUCKING LEGS!!! MY LEGS!!!!

Starr and Danielson drop their sledge hammers and make a quick exit.

Lucious Starr: See you soon, Simon.

Inside the locker room Kalis frantically begins bashing himself against the locker room door. Emily joins him and after three combined hits from the two of them, they bash through but Starr and Danielson are already gone. Emily gasps, holding her hands over her mouth as Kalis drops to his knees and lifts Spectre into his arms.

Spectre: I need help! I need help!

Simon Kalis: WE NEED A MEDIC! WE NEED A FUCKING MEDIC!

Kalis trembles as he looks at Spectre's knee caps, the camera makes it a point to avoid focusing on them.

Emily Corlen: You're gonna be fine, Benjamin! You're gonna be fine!

Corlen kneels down and holds Spectre's hand as his mouth is open and his eyes wide, he rocks back and forth in shock. Kalis and Corlen look at each other and shake their heads, Simon almost in tears as he holds onto his friend. EMT's arrive and we fade to ringside...

Jon McDaniel: Starr and Danielson are asking for it, Brian.

Brian Rentfro: Spectre's faking.

Jon McDaniel: ...

Brian Rentfro: What? What a big cry baby. Kalis asked for this long ago, and now he's gonna drag Corlen down to hell with him.

Jon McDaniel: Folks, we'll back after this commercial break...

Jethro and Emily starting off this contest with a collar and elbow, but Jethro quickly powers Emily around towards the S2N corner.

Engel with an Irish whip as Jethro is pouring sweat on the ring apron. Emily bounces off the ropes, back into a back body that she spectacturlarly turns into a tornado DDT center ring.

Emily ducks, firing up with a uppercut into his midsection that doubles Matthew over gasping for breath. Emily with a picture perfect neckbreaker takes Engel down to the canvas before she blows him a kiss. Emily off the ropes, reaching out for a tag to Simon, before baseball sliding into Engel's side.

Jon McDaniel: These two with still a huge score to settle.

Brian Rentfro: Ah, Jethro's just got a major chip on his shoulder.

Jethro with a big knee lift into the ribs that Engel was working over whips him around and back first into the corner. Jethro reaches out kicking Simon right in the throat before repeatedly ramming his knee into Simon's chest and midsection. Jethro reaches out for the tag so that S2N can utilize some double teaming action, but Simon manages to shove the hand away, grab the wrist, and spin Hayes around with his shin coming up and driving Jethro's face into the canvas hard.

Brian Rentfro: The Last Pioneers working extremely well together here tonight.

Jon McDaniel: For their first time teaming up, yes they are.

Simon rolls Jethro over onto his back, placing The Southern Hero into a sleeper hold, driving all of the oxygen out of Jethro's brain. Jethro almost immediately begins to fight out of the hold, firing left and right elbows back at Simon's head in hopes of using that to get him out of the move. Jethro fights up to one knee, Simon doing his best to keep the muscled heavyweight down. Jethro up to one knee, fires a right elbow up at Simon's face, but also plants a left back kick right into Simon's left knee. Simon falls back, Jethro stumbling forward a bit before righting himself. He spins around, Simon flying through the air with a scissorskick, but Jethro catches the feet spinning him around and dropping him with a spinnin around and toss move. Jethro lands on his back, quickly rolling up to his feet as Simon does the same, though the two probably shouldn't be moving this fast.

Brian Rentfro: Both men showing their resiliency here.

Jon McDaniel: So, you are saying something good about Jethro?

Brian Rentfro: Yup, filled my yearly quota.

Collar and elbow, Jethro powering through, but Simon ducking and getting behind Jethro with a waistlock. Simon lifts as though for a German suplex, actually picking Jethro up a few inches before releasing the hold. Jethro falls back down, but Simon is already around with a running bulldog before Jethro's feet land on the canvas; using the momentum to his advantage in driving Jethro's face into the canvas. Simon rolls over, pulling himself up to the top turnbuckle, diving off with a flying headbutt, right onto Jethro's knee as he rolled over just in the nick of time. Jethro pulls himself up, dragging Simon up as well before the two begin to exchange moves again. Jethro with a side headlock, but Simon uimmediately begins to fire left after left elbow jabs into Jethro's ribs in an attempt to break the hold, but no go. Jethro drops the side headlock in favor of slamming his knee right into Simon's face and lifting him up onto his shoulders in a fireman's carry position. Jethro bounces off the ropes, Engel tagging himself in, and releases Simon with the Calf Toss.

Jon McDaniel: A move we are starting to see a bit more and more in the Calf Toss.

One!

Two!

Emily comes into the ring, but Jethro meets her and the two come to blows as Simon kicks out anyways. The referee is in danger of losing control here, but he quickly breaks Emily and Jethro up and the two go to their respective corner. Engel lifts Simon up, driving an elbow into the back of his skull while similtaneously lifting a knee up into his face.

Jon McDaniel: The crowd really into this one Brian, I'm not sure if anyone is sitting down.

Brian Rentfro: Then why pay for the seats?

Simon grabs Engel around the waist, shoving him into a neutral corner. Engel releases the hold on Simon, who manages a springboard elbow to the back of Engel's skull sending him down to one knee. Simon off the ropes, Shining Wizard!

Blocked!

Engel shoves Simon back down, but Simon rolls through and up to his feet with renewed energy, it seems.

Emily leaps over the top rope.

Brian Rentfro: The other Last Pioneer into the match.

Jon McDaniel: And she is undoubtedly the freshest person in the match, having been on the apron for a good seven minutes or so.

thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud thud Kick to the thigh. Emily fighting intelligently to get the advantage. Her pasty white chest is already glowing
a bright red as Engel's chops broke open blood vessels. Matthew's chest, also shows red welts forming, but Emily takes Matthew over
with a vicious snap suplex, then floats over into a mount. She starts pounding away on Matthew, who tries to cover up.

Jon McDaniel: Look at Emily here, the freshness paying dividends.

Brian Rentfro: As it always does.

the ref tells Emily to get off and starts issuing a five count...

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Emily with no signs of stopping.

So the ref gets in Emily's face urging her off of Matthew.

Brian Rentfro: Oh come on, the official can't get involved like that!

Jon McDaniel: The official can do what he deems necessary to enforce the rules, and Emily wasn't breaking away from Matthew.

Emily looks furious, but the ref isn't about to be cowed by her. Emily grabs Matthew... Matthew with a shot to the breadbasket! Point of the elbow to the
back of the head! Matthew takes Emily down with a Fireman's carry, then begins driving his knees into Emily's back. No doubt setting him up later fora submission hold. A few more of those and Matthew's anger gets the better of him, and he just begins to choke out Emily. the ref comes in with a count, warning
Matthew to break...

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Five...

Once again, the ref refuses to allow the wrestler's to just do as they please, physically getting involved by getting in Matthew's face. Matthew's eyes are wide, nostrils
flaring as the ref simply shakes his head. Don't even try it. Matthew grabs Emily, vertical suplex with authority. Leg drop connects, makes a cover.

One!

Two!

Jon McDaniel: Close call there.

Brian Rentfro: Slow count.

Emily kicks out. Matthew pulls Emily up, hooking a Sambo Suplex --- elbows from the Emerald Phoenix, she ducks behind Matthew, German suplex? Matthew has it well-scouted, refusing to allow Emily to fully lock on the German suplex. He spins out, snapmaring Emily down to the canvas. Off the ropes, flipping neck snap! Perfectly executed! Then FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Emily quickly gets to the ropes and the ref calls for a break.

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Fi--Matthew grunts and gets up, pulling Emily up --- Emily headbutts Matthew in the gut! Another headbutt! And that's enough of an opening for Emily to hit a Northern Lights Suplex!

One!

Two!

KICK-OUT!

Matthew gets out, Emily's turn to snapmare Matthew over. Off the ropes, Emily hits a diving forearm to the seated Matthew. He goes down on his back. With
Matthew down, Emily hooks the legs in a stepover... hooking in a figure four submission hold applied, but Matthew is able to make it to the ropes this time.

Jon McDaniel: Emily trying to weaken the legs of Matthew here.

Brian Rentfro: Smart move, but it can fail.

One...

Two...

Three...

Four...

Fi--
Emily breaks at four, giving the ref an annoyed look.

Jon McDaniel: As we expected, neither wrestler able to gain any clear advantage. So far it has been move for move, hold for hold, each with a period of dominance
but unable to sustain it.

Brian Rentfro: Two masters at work, Jon. You should just sit there and enjoy it. You know, without talking.

Jon McDaniel: ... at least for the moment, both competitors are obeying the official,. But I don't know how long that's going to last.

Emily pulls Matthew up and puts him against the ropes. A chop, then an irish whip. Matthew reverses! Emily goes running, her lower back slamming hard into Jethro's waiting knee and forearm to the back of her skull for good measure. Simon wants to come in, but he knows that'll only result in a vicious double team from S2N and he can't allow them the slightest advantage. Engel with a wristlock tags in Jethro, who comes in kicking Emily right in the side, possibly bruising her ribs with that single kick and most definitely with the other five as Engel steps through the ropes to the apron. Emily with a shot to the left knee of Hayes stumbles him to the ropes. Jethro comes firing back with a few well placed shots, but Emily uses her speed to kick him in the knee and hips slowing the big man down. Emily and Hayes with a collar and elbow in the very center of the ring. Collar and elbow lockup, Emily quickly losing the advantage there, she drops the hold, floats behind Jethro dropkick to the back of the big man.

Emily with a third kick, but Jethro catches the ankle, dropping down to the mat while dropping an elbow on Emily's knee. She drops the hold on the top rope, Jethro breaks the hold. Emily rolls to where her entire body is on the ring apron, she rolls down to the mat outside as Jethro stands up; he backs away allowing her to enter the ring. Lock up attempt, Emily with a forearm to Jethro's thick skull, the big man is sent backwards. Irish whip into the ropes, Jethro reverses and Emily is sent running. Trying to catch the top rope to brake herself, she is unsuccessful, Jethro catches her on the rebound with an airplane spin. Jethro spins around, dropping Emily's throat across his shoulder with a airplane spin into a stunner. He makes a cover.

One!

Two! Emily kicks out.

JON MCDANIEL: Emily may be the youngest experience wise in this match, but she's definitely showing her resiliency here tonight.

BRIAN RENTFRO: Emily showing the PWA and AOWF roster that they need to take notice of her abilities as well as her rocking body.

Jethro pulls her to her feet, right hand, knife edge chop to Emily in the corner. She winces from the pain of a second knife edge chop and Jethro grabs the wrist, whip into the corner. NO! Emily counters with an armbar takedown. Emily hooks on an arm trap crossface. The referee is down in Jethro's face asking if he wants to submit, Jethro shakes his head "No." Jethro shoves up from the mat with his free hand, Emily isn't heavy enough to prevent this, Jethro shoves forward into the ropes, clutching at the bottom rope. Emily there to make the referee count his mandatory count.

One... Two... Three... Four... Fi

Jon McDaniel: All competitors utilizing that mandatory five count.

Brian Rentfro: Take all the rules will give ya.

Emily breaks the hold. Jethro pulls himself up as Emily backs off. Emily with a high knee lift into Jethro's chest, Jethro spins around once, slamming her down to the canvas with a spinebuster. NO Wait! Emily at the last instant somehow turned the spinebuster into a DDT, Jethro may be out cold on the canvas!

BRIAN RENTFRO: Jethro is out!

JON MCDANIEL: What a counter from Emily!

She grabs him around the head, pulling him up to his feet, forearm to his chest, European uppercut sends him into the corner. Front dropkick to Jethro's knees nearly causes him to drop down to the canvas on his wounded right knee, but the European uppercut gets him back up vertically in the corner. Emily with a knife edge chop, she turns sprinting to the middle of the ring. Turning back to face Jethro she sprints, runs up Jethro, kicking him in the chest as she reaches his chest and flips backwards. She finishes it off with another dropkick to Jethro's knee that she has decided to work over in this match, the right knee of Jethro has got to be giving him some pain now. She drapes the leg over the middle rope, grabs the ankle, and bends the knee over the middle rope to cause even more pain and damage to that leg, Jethro is breathing heavily now, the sweat pouring from his forehead. Elbow drop onto Emily's back, she loosens the hold, another elbow drop, she drops the hold completely. She looks up at Jethro, swinging out with a right hand, Jethro hooks her in a half nelson, turning around slamming her down to the mat with a half nelson slam., Emily's foot lands under the bottom rope, so no cover is made.

Jon McDaniel: Jethro looks to be hurt here as he pulls himself over to Engel and makes the tag. Engel looks down, a bit concerned? Who knows, he comes into the match as does Simon, the former PWA World Champion receiving Emily's tag just as Jethro tags in Engel. Emily onto the apron, Jethro onto the apron; both gasping for breath.

Jon McDaniel: Here we go Brian.

Brian Rentfro: Where are you going? I'm going to stay right here, no commercial breaks at all!

Tie up, Engel with a knee gets him the advantage as he doubles Simon over. Matthew picks him up for a back suplex, driving him down hard on him back and neck. Matthew pulls
Simon up, talking a little trash, then slapping Simon in the back of the head. Matthew pulls Simon's arm across his throat, what's this? SUPLEX! Unique
belly-to-back suplex there, Simon landing right on his head. Matthew then stands in a ready stance, slightly crouched, right fist cocked. Simon slowly
gets up, staggered, and Matthew waits, waits, waits...

Uppercut!

NO! Simon falls down and rolls to the outside, avoiding a potential match-ending blow right there. the ref tells Matthew to stay put and begins to count
Simon out.

One... Two... Three... Four...

Jon McDaniel: Engel can't wait, he isn't going to wait!

Brian Rentfro: Mark of a true Champion there!

He gets to four when an anxious Matthew decides he can't wait anymore and slides out the other side. Matthew circles around, coming right for Simon...
drop toe-hold from Simon! Matthew hits the floor hard, coming up holding his nose. Simon with a stiff kick to the ribs of Matthew, and then he grabs the
arms...

Oh hell.

Simon holds both arms behind Matthew, plants his foot on the back of his head, and

Curbstomp.

On the floor.

The ref begins his count again, as Matthew moans on the outside, moving slowly.

One... Two... Three... Four...

Matthew trying to get up...

Five... Six... Seven...

Jon McDaniel: Can Engel make it in on time?

He's clutching at the apron...

Eight... Nine...

Matthew makes it back in!

the ref says it's good, but to reward Matthew for his tenacity, Simon kicks him in the face. Matthew pulled up slowly, Simon gets behind and delivers a
headbutt to the back of Matthew's head, then a GERMAN SUPLEX. Release! Matthew is in a bad way here, and Simon senses defeat. He climbs to the top rope...

Diving Headbutt!
Nobody home!

Jon McDaniel: That has got to hurt.

Brian Rentfro: Yeah, but either way someone was going to pay there.

The crowd is into this match. Some are pulling for Simon, some Matthew, most are just wrapped up in the contest
and hoping their favorite kicks the other's ass at some point. However, right now, both men are down and the ref fires up a ten-count.

One... Two... Three... Four... Five...

Jon McDaniel: Come on, it can't end like this!
Brian Rentfro: Nah, neither man will let it end like this.
Six...

Both men grabbing the ropes to help them up...

Seven... Eight...

They're both up!

Simon gets the first shot, Matthew still quite dazed from the curbstomp. He whips Matthew to the ropes, hits the opposite ropes, looking for a lariat!
Matthew ducks!

Simon turns around

Brian Rentfro: A perfectly placed uppercut!

Simon goes down in a heap, Matthew collapsing himself. Matthew pulls himself over Simon!

One...

Two...

Thre

No no no no

Simon barely gets the shoulder up. Matthew shakes some more cobwebs loose, and then looks out to the crowd. He makes a "snapping" motion with his hands and
yells "Time to make him humble!" Matthew stands over top of a rising Simon, throwing some crossface shots into Simon's face before locking on a camel clutch. He has Simon in the center of the ring, the hold cinched in! The part of the crowd behind Matthew is chanting "TAP TAP TAP!"

Simon tries to struggle, tries to crawl as best he can with his arms trapped, trying to inch sideways, to get a foot on the rope... he's so close... but
not there! Inches away! Simon's face is showing tremendous pain! He almost looks like he's going to scream "YES I QUIT"... but with one final effort,
manages to hook his foot over the bottom rope. the ref tells Matthew to break it, on the ropes, Matthew holding on, wrenching back!

Jon McDaniel: Matthew needs to watch his temper! This is one referee you don't want to mess with, he has no problems calling for a disqualification.

Brian Rentfro: And Simon is one opponent you don't want to give any advantage to!

Matthew quickly disciplines himself and grabs Simon. He hooks an inverted facelock and climbs up to the 2nd turnbuckle, sitting on top. Matthew looks out...
then flips forward to jar Simon's jaw on his shoulder. Matthew covers Simon!

One...

Two...

Thre----

Not yet Not Yet Not Yet

Foot on the ropes.

Jon McDaniel: You want to talk about ring awareness, how did Simon have any idea where he was?

Brian Rentfro: Instinct is all it could have been, Simon barely avoiding defeat there. Matthew has more tricks up his sleeve, however!

Indeed he does. Matthew whips Simon into the turnbuckle and charges in with a big lariat. Simon sags, and Matthew whips his man out to the other side. Another
charge... Simon slings through the ropes and Matthew's momentum takes him between the turnbuckles, shoulder into the steel post! Simon on the outside
grabs his arms, plants his foot on the ring apron, and then PULLS for all he is worth, trying to pull Matthew's arms out of their sockets! the ref tells
Simon to get off his man in the ropes,

One... Two... Three... Four... Fi---Simon just lets go, he doesn't care about the referee, but he does hate LOSING.
Matthew sags back into the ring, holding his left shoulder in pain. Simon gets in... and goes for a FUJIWARA ARMBAR!

Jon McDaniel: That's a smart move.

Brian Rentfro: He is going to dislocate Engel's arm!

Matthew yells in pain as Simon looks to tap the man out with his submission move! Matthew can see the ropes, but they are feet away. He bites his fist, groaning in
pain, Simon's part of the crowd chanting "TAP TAP TAP!" the ref checks in, Matthew yelling "no no no no!" Can he hold out much longer? He tries to shift his body, Simon moving as he goes, not letting loose on the hold. Matthew stretches his leg out... out...

He raises his free hand!

HE'S GOING TO TAP

NO!

Matthew makes a fist and makes a final lunge, getting his foot on the bottom rope. the ref calls for the break. Simon simply stares at him.

One... Two... Three... Four... FiVE! Simon is OFF OF Engel!

Simon is furious now, ripping a verbal strip out of the ref, who gives it right back, telling Simon to break the damn hold when the man is in
the ropes! Simon forces himself to ignore the ref and turns back to Matthew, who is holding his arm in pain. Simon pulls the man up... Tazmission!

Brian Rentfro: Matthew is near the ropes.

Matthew pushes off, landing on top of Simon, whose shoulders are down!

One...

Two...

Simon kicks out! Matthew slowly gets up, but Simon grabs him. OH NO!

Bridge Northern Lights... countered into a DDT!

Engel nods at Hayes, who waits a second before Engel dives off the top with the Euthenasia! It connects! Jethro sends Emily backwards through the ropes with The Plow, but quickly falls on the canvas, unmoving once more. Engel makes the cover.

One!

Two!

Three!http://www.the-pwa.com/admin/showbuilder.php?event=238

Ding Ding Ding

Eric Emerson: Winners of the match, the team of Matthew Engel and Jethro Hayes... Second 2 None!

Engel gets up, his hand high in the air, but Jethro is still laying there on the canvas, his face pressed into the ring in obvious pain as sweat pours off his face. Engel drops down to one knee beside Jethro and the bigger man nods. Engel helps him up and the two stand there in the ring, both exhausted, both worn out, but Jethro looking a bit greenish white around the face. Matt Stone comes out of the crowd and hits Matthew Engel with the C-c-c-c-combo Breaker. Hayes spins around to see what just happened and chases Matt Stone up the ramp, leaving the World champion laying in the ring, alone.

The End is Only the Beginning

Without any warning, Lucious Starr slowly emerges from backstage, clapping slowly (and rather sarcastically, even!) for the Main Event showing. He carries a microphone in one hand, and hauls a folder under the opposite arm.

Lucious Starr: What a match, what a match. I mean, to close out Rampage with something as epic as that... wow.

Engel and Hayes walk past Lucious cautiously, Starr moving ever so slightly out of their path. He turns his attention toward the ring, where Emily is trying to talk Kalis down.

Lucious Starr: Just when I though Corlen there had picked the WORST possible partner, you go and prove that that particular honor still goes to Matthew Stone. Win or lose, the Last Pioneers really know how to throw down, right people?

The fans are a mix off boos for Lucious and cheers for Simon and Emily. Lucious continues to the ring, walking up the stairs.

Lucious Starr: Now, Simon, I know what you're thinking. And while it's tempting to take away the one thing you have left, Emily is engaged to J-Mav. Congrats on that, by the way. No, Kalis, I'm here, right now, in this moment, to explain exactly what is going to happen in the coming weeks.

Lucious Starr: Smart move, Kalis. You wouldn't want to go back to jail so soon after the paraphenilia charges, now would you? So, here's where we stand. Next week, I have Teresa Quaranta coming over from Victory to... well, you know, basically try to rouse my interest and stroke my...

Lucious Starr: Ego, you disgusting pervert. Stroke my EGO. After that, however, I'm going to go ahead and have Robbo hook us up... you know, Hell and High Water versus the Last Pioneers, losers disband match? Yeah, figure that would help to rid the planet of your unholy alliance. Then, I would go ahead and just pop you and me into a match... what do you think, Last Man Standing? First Blood? Steel Cage, Texas Bullrope, TLC? I dunno, we'll figure it out later. Point being, we both know by now that I am, by far, the superior athlete, the superior mind, and the superior ma...

Kalis lets loose his fist, clocking Lucious one right in the jaw. He doesn't let up as he hops onto Lucious, pounding him left and right with fists.

Simon Kalis: WHERE THE FUCK IS BRIAN?? WHERE IS MY SON???

Emily pulls Kalis off, only for Kalis to reach behind himself and pull his desert eagle. Lucious starts to his feet... laughing?

Brian Rentfro: Is he fucking NUTS?!

Jon McDaniel: Oh, this won't end well.

Lucious looks at the gun, to Kalis, back to the gun, back at Kalis. He grins as he spreads his arms, laughing.

Kalis starts to turn, noting that Lucious is no longer beside him on the mat. He turns, finding Lucious out of the ring, leading Emily right into a barricade of fans, who block her from moving much of anywhere else.

Simon Kalis: Let my son go, you dirty....

Lucious Starr: I make the fucking demands, Kalis! I give the fucking orders!

Kalis shakes his head, looking at Emily as she's being held back by so called "fans". Emily shakes her head.

Lucious Starr: Thing is I thought we could go through that big disaster for the next few months, but then I realized something Simon. Why delay the inevitable? Everyone knows you've been losing it lately, you're obviously not the same caliber of man you were heading into 2011 as PWA World Champion now are you? So here you are, all alone. No Order of Chaos. No First Class Felony. No other stupid little group you can come up with. There's only you, and you alone are weak and pathetic Simon.

Lucious Starr: First you cut your own eye out, and there's obviously something wrong with you and everyone knows it. Then your fiancee dies, murdered horribly. And after it took you so long to get over the fact your wife was murdered, much the same way! Your old friend Scott Nash Strader and Meghan go with her! Your daughter overdoses on drugs! You lose the AoWF World title match, lose the PWA Intercontinental title. Your life and your career are in a race to see which one hits rock bottom first.

Joshua Danielson brings Brian into the ring. Kalis falls to his knees and throws the gun aside, embracing Brian in his arms.

Lucious Starr: A long time ago, when we were in the Order, you signed a document, Simon.

Kalis ignores Starr, and doesn't notice a group of police officers coming to the ring from backstage. Starr flips open the dossier he has with him.

Lucious Starr: You signed a document stating that in the event you were unable to take care of Brian, I would get custody over him.

Kalis looks up at Starr in shock.

Lucious Starr: No, I didn't think you remembered that. Officers.

Kalis looks all around him now, as several police officers enter the ring.

Lucious Starr: Don't worry, you're not going to jail. I made sure that you'll be in the best of care when they place you in a straight jacket and throw you into a pysch ward, Simon.

Kalis looks at his son Brian, holding back his emotion.

Lucious Starr: Until you're ready to be a respectable member of society... If, you're ever ready...

Kalis kisses Brian on the cheek, and steps back from him as he gets to his feet. Simon lights a cigarette as he looks at Emily Corlen who looks on in shock and confusion.

Lucious Starr: This is the end, Simon.

Kalis kneels down and kisses Brian one more time.

Simon Kalis: You learned well, Lucy. Covered all your bases. Prepared for all scenarios. I'm a better teacher than I realized.

Lucious Starr: I'm better than you realized.

Simon Kalis: There's only one thing you forgot.

Lucious Starr: What's that?

Simon Kalis: I'm Simon fucking Kalis.

Kalis whips the microphone at Starr's face and goes to lunge right at him but the police officers begin bashing Kalis with their batons, and they take him down quickly. Brian looks on in horror as Starr grabs Brian and pulls him away, comforting him.

Lucious Starr: It's okay kiddo, your dad's sick. He's gonna get help.

Starr smirks devilishly, proud of what he's done as Simon is cuffed and taken out of the ring. The crowd BOOS heavily and loudly as Kalis is hauled off away from the ring. The fans holding Corlen back finally let go and she rushes towards Simon but an officer stops and pushes her back and away from him.

Lucious Starr: Say goodbye everyone! Hayes thought he did it once by framing Simon to get arrested! Then Raizzor thought he did it when he got Kalis fired! But now our dear friend is going to get all the help he needs inside a psych ward. Say goodnight to the bad guy!

Kalis is taken up, but...

GONG!

Jon McDaniel: OH MY GOD!

GONG!

Starr's eyes widen as do Danielson's as they begin looking around.

Brian Rentfro: IT CAN'T BE!

GONG!

The lights go out, and all we can do is hear the fans screaming and cheering.

Jon McDaniel: Could it be?! Could he be here?!

The lights turn back on and atop the entrance ramp, Simon is still in the custody of two police officers. But surrounding them, four men to the left, four women to the right. And one man ahead of them all.

Brian Rentfro: What the hell?!

Jon McDaniel: Who are those people?!

Kalis smiles as he's pulled away by the officers, but the nine remain.

Voice: The end is only the beginning, Lucious Beta Starr.

The one man ahead of the others looks up and points into the ring. Emily Corlen laughs, knowing full well who they are as she turns to look into the ring. Starr shakes his head, neither he nor Danielson afraid as they point back.
